Maintenance Tips

Tire Pressure

TIRE PRESSURE AND YOUR SAFETY
If your tires aren't inflated to the correct specifications, they can be
dangerous and cause an accident. Here is why the correct tire pressure is so
important for your safety:

WHAT IF MY TIRE PRESSURE IS
TOO HIGH?
If your tire pressure is too high, your tires are over-inflated and have less
contact with the road. This gives your tires less grip and traction, so it
decreases your braking power and increases your effective stopping
distance.

Over-inflation also increases tire wear in the centre portion of the tread and
exposes your tires to damages from objects on the road and potholes. Your ride
won't be nearly as comfortable either because your tires are 'bouncing' on the
road.

WHAT IF MY TIRE PRESSURE IS
TOO LOW?
Now you have the opposite situation and too much of your tire is in contact
with the road. This makes your tire hot and may result in overheating. In the
worst case scenario, this may cause tire failure. Under inflation also increases
tire wear on the tread at the edges and decreases your fuel economy.

WHAT IF I HAVE UNEVEN TIRE
PRESSURE?
If your tire pressures are not equal, your car will pull to the left or the
right. You will feel this pull through your steering wheel.

WHAT IS MY CORRECT TIRE
PRESSURE?
Your recommended tire pressure is printed on a sticker in your glove
compartment, door jamb or fuel-filler door. This is the ideal pressure for the
tires when used on your specific model vehicle.

Note: The pressure on the tire
wall is the maximum allowable air pressure, not the recommended pressure. Make
sure to check your tire pressure once a month. At the same time inspect your
tires for uneven or unusual wear.

Batteries

BATTERIES KNOW BEFORE IT FAILS
How do you know when to replace your car's battery? Because its life varies
according to the type of vehicle you drive, the geographical region you live
in, and your individual driving habits, it is impossible to specify hard and
fast replacement intervals.

However, you can monitor your vehicle for signs that your battery may be about
to fail. Here are the most common warning signs:

The charge indicator on the top of your maintenance-free battery shows yellow
or black. During winter, the number of battery failures increases four-fold, so
if your battery is more than two years old, ask your Chrysler, Jeep®,
Dodge Service specialist to test your battery and charging system. Depending on
the results, you may choose to replace your battery before it fails.
